Israel braces for 'unimaginable' Iran strike as hospitals, shelters go on alert

Israel is ramping up emergency preparations across its healthcare system, military, and civilian infrastructure amid rising tensions with Iran. PM Netanyahu issued a stark warning to Tehran, saying any attack would be met with an "unimaginable" response. Meanwhile, hospitals have been directed to enter alert status, blood reserves are being stockpiled, public shelters have been opened in Tel Aviv, and the military has raised readiness to levels last seen during the June 2025 war. From Beersheba's Soroka Medical Center to municipalities nationwide, Israel appears to be bracing for a full-scale Iranian missile strike — even as officials call it "precautionary."
